(Bloomberg) -- The US Justice Department must release a 2019 memo advising then-attorney general Bill Barr on how to handle the conclusion of the Mueller investigation and the department’s decision not to charge Donald Trump, a federal appeals court ruled.

The 3-0 decision Friday, by a panel of judges of the appeals court in Washington, upholds a lower court that ordered the department to make the March 2019 document public after finding that DOJ lawyers failed to accurately describe it from the start.

The district judge had found that the memo was about the kind of public statement Barr should make over special counsel Robert Mueller’s findings and not -- as she said she had been led to believe -- whether the Justice Department was seriously considering whether to bring charges against Trump.

The memo to Barr came at the end of Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and whether Trump had tried to meddle with the probe. Mueller’s team declined to make a recommendation about whether to charge Trump, and Barr said the evidence was “not sufficient” to prosecute.

1. Mueller should have called out Barr about this

Barr intentionally misrepresented the findings about whether or not to charge tRump for the collusion with Russia re: Ukraine. In hindsight, the long term impact of Barr's willingness to protect tRump is a roadmap that contributed to the Russian invasion in Ukraine. tRump should have been indicted and removed from office. Mueller's reluctance to step into this situation when he had the opportunity to do something to protect national security was a disservice to the nation.

3. "Barr's willingness to protect tRump, a roadmap that contributed to the Russian invasion in Ukraine"

And if McConnell, Ryan, McCarthy, Scalaise, and even Obama hadcome out publicly and told the
American People about Trump & Russia then he (TFG) would not have gotten into the White House
and we wouldn't have the global C-19 pandemic or the Russian invasion of the Ukraine.

10. I would recommend that Mr Obama's statements regarding TFG.....

would be, then as now, disregarded wholesale by those for whom the truth would be most impactful.
That's the world we samba in.

2. Too Little Too Late

he should have been charged if not for his fat friendly AG and all the rest would have been history. Instead look where we are.

4. I, for one, will be happy to see Barr get raked over the coals for this.

He's been trying to redeem himself with the J6 committee. I am hoping America gets reminded just how much of a corrupt toady he is.
